You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{5} + 7 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{2}{5} + 7 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8 = \frac{17}{5} = 3.4\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{2}{5} + 7 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8& = \frac{2}{5} + 7 - \frac{8}{2}\\& = \frac{2}{5} + 7 - 4\\& = \frac{37}{5} - 4\\& = \frac{17}{5}\end{aligned}\]
